Factor-Based Investing

Description

Factor investing builds portfolios around characteristics such as value, momentum, quality and low volatility. Fourteen PDF lessons set out the foundation and how factor approaches developed from traditional ones, then explain each of the key factors.

You then build a first factor portfolio, combine factors into multi-factor strategies and study risk management and how factors behave in different market conditions. Later lessons cover common pitfalls, tools and resources, case studies, and monitoring and adjusting a portfolio. After reading, you should be able to explain how each factor works and draft a framework for your own approach. The material is educational and is not personal investment advice.

Who it is for: individual investors who already know the basics and want to understand factor-based portfolios.
